in reply to Re^2: Where do I put libgd? (strawberry)
in thread Where do I put libgd?

but the questioner is asking about 5.16.3 - is it true for that version as well

That was my first thought, too ... but Strawberry 5.16.3 *does* provide GD-2.49 (according to http://strawberryperl.com/release-notes/5.16.3.1-64bit.html).

And then there's the question of the missing gdlib-config. Strawberry 5.18.2 provides gdlib-config.bat, and I would've expected 5.16.3 to do the same (unverified).
I'm actually wondering whether the OP is, in fact, running Strawberry Perl.

Anyway ... if it's Strawberry Perl, then the OP should already have GD installed, and if it's ActivePerl then installing via PPM should work:
ppm install http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm/GD.ppd --force
Cheers,
Rob

    Now why did I not think of looking at the release notes for 5.16.3 ... errm, that'll be because I never thought of it 'til you mentioned it :-) Doh!!!

    On the PPM front, it's been some while since I had to put up with Windoze, but from what I could remember, I guessed that PPM would be best way for AS.

    A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
